BERLIN (Reuters Life!) - A 43-year-old German decided to settle his imminent divorce by chainsawing a family home in two and making off with his half in a forklift truck.
Police in the eastern town of Sonneberg said on Friday the trained mason measured the single-storey summer house -- which was some 8 meters (26 feet) long and 6 meters wide -- before chainsawing through the wooden roof and walls.
"The man said he was just taking his due," said a police spokesman. "But I don't think his wife was too pleased."
After finishing the job, the man picked up his half with the forklift truck and drove to his brother's house where he has since been staying.

I read about this -- what a crazy man!
Imagine paying a mortgage on a house that no one can possibly live in.
I mean, really: was it worth it? :rolleyes:

It must have been worth it to him cher, since he felt he was already getting the shaft. Also, he was just showing off his talents, "it's a guy thing"!

That puts what he did to the car to shame really. I read in another publication that he tried to split the kids aswell but they out ran him.

My mate and his ex split the house 50/50. She got the inside and he got the outside.

Joking apart, my ex wants to move house now. She even asked me if I'd be interested in buying her house. I declined and said I didn't want to buy it a second time :rolleyes:
